About/Bibliography

Tylor James lives in Sweet Hollow, Wisconsin. He’s been a dreamer of dark and fantastic things from an early age, having grown up in a ramshackle, century-old farmhouse and having always possessed an intrigue with classic horror films. Each day he keeps his head up and his heart open in search of new ideas — like a ravenous monster, he is perpetually hungry for them. He is twenty-nine years old.
His debut novel, OLD DARK HOUSES: A HALLOWEEN NOVEL, shall be published by Weird House Press and available for preorder this late-September of 2023. Described as a “love letter to Halloween”, it contains all the eerie thrills and chills one may wish to encounter during the October season—not to mention, beautifully eerie full-color interior illustrations from the fantastically talented, Luke Spooner.
James has weird tales published in Weird House Magazine, Cosmic Horror Monthly, Strange Horizons, Hypnos Magazine, The Literary Hatchet, The Other Stories Podcast, and other several anthologies. He has several new books on the way, but for now the following titles are available:
Old Dark Houses: A Halloween Novel
Beneath the Jack O’ lantern Sky: Tales of Sweet Hollow
Matters Most Macabre
Daydreams of the Damned
When not writing, you may find Tylor spending time with his beloved fiancé and daughter, stargazing, visiting Other Skies Weird Fiction in St. Paul, MN, and/or taking midnight strolls through the graveyard.
